Focusing on early Ming and early and middle Qing, it explores architectural, urban and geographical space of Beijing, in relation to issues of history, geopolitics, urban social structure, imperial rule and authority, symbolism, and aesthetic and existential experience. At once historical and theoretical, the work argues that there is a Chinese approach to spatial disposition which is strategic and holistic.ArchitectureChinaBeijingMing-Qing dynasties, 1368-1912Space (Architecture)ChinaBeijingArchitecture and stateChinaBeijingArchitecture and religionCity planningChinaBeijingBeijing (China)Buildings, structures, etcArchitectureSpace (Architecture)Architecture and stateArchitecture and religion.City planning720/.951/156Zhu Jianfei1962-1761044MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816877703321Chinese spatial strategies4200221UNINA
